Atlanta, GA – Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life, reacted today to the case of an African American teenager who is suing a Michigan doctor for an alleged forced abortion.

“I can’t help but notice that no so called ‘pro-choice’ leaders are rushing to the aid of a black Michigan teenager who says she was held down on an operating table while an abortionist took her baby without consent,” said Dr. King.“The silence of the pro-abortion ‘champions’ is deafening, but the silence of the lambs slaughtered in the clinics is heart wrenching.Once again, it’s clear that the abortion lobby supports only one choice.”
